Is the tail light joint same as 200ns ? Would it be possible to install the tail light in 200ns ?

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Both the projectors for high beam and left one for low beam

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

This has to be the best lighting setup in India for a stock bike.. Is the beam spread ok? What about the lighting distance?

I will update after my next refill!
I was impressed with the fairing quality. All of my friends and colleagues felt so too.
The common questions which people ask me are, price and mileage :P

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Finally got my baby on Saturday!

The Booking and the divorce

I had booked a CBR250R way back in December. I always have a thing for fully faired bikes and added requirement of a decent tourer meant CBR was the perfect bike for me. Atleast till the time I came to know that production of CBR has stopped and a new edition is imminent. Well, I thought, let's wait for a month and get myself a new model.

Fast forward to last week of March. 4 months gone by and still no news of any update from Honda. Searching for any news CBR 300R everyday religiously became my morning schedule after starting my computer in office. Excitement gave way to desperation and finally anger took over. At this moment of breakdown of my CBR fantasy came the news of launch of Pulsar SS200.

Another news of Pulsar SS200? Yawn....

Then SS changed to RS. Still worthy of neither my attention, nor my curiosity.

Start of a new affair

Along came a spyshot of the Bajaj production facility where RS200 was spotted. In reality! After a wait of eons of years, a fully faired Pulsar was finally getting launched. I googled the number of nearest Bajaj dealer to enquire about the start of booking. He replied: "Booking has started. When do you want to come?" Now I could feel the excitement in my veins. I told I will come on Saturday.

Now was a time to make a decision. Honda CBR? No way I'm going to wait next 20 years for a product refresh. KTM RC390? Amazing bike but above my budget and not practical for everyday ride in traffic. KTM RC200? Very close contender but pillion discomfort and aggressive seating position tilted the balance in favor of RS200. Hero Karizma ZMR: I already have a "Hero Honda" Karizma R and with those new looks, are you kidding me?

So, I finally decided to go for RS200. It was a bit impulsive to book a bike not yet officially launched but at the back of my head I knew although the bike is new, the engine powering it is the good old NS engine + ABS + FI. So, only thing that could go wrong was if bike managed to look ultra ugly in person.

The bike was launched the next week and that day, I could be seen at the showroom oggling at the bike. My first impression was that it looks huuuuge!!! Despite all the comments about the looks, I found it stunning. Although, the graphics are a bit of eye sore but I am planning to get them removed in some time.

Waiting, waiting and still waiting....

Next few days went by with me reading anything and everything internet had to offer on the bike. On 3rd April, I got a call from Bajaj regional sales head that the bike has arrived in showroom and am I ready with money? I was like:




Next day, I went with cash (that day being a bank holiday) and did all the paperwork. I was told my bike will be sent to RTO for registration and I will get it in 6 working days. Waited till Wednesday and called the showroom to enquire about the status. Their reply stung me like a bee: some cock and bull story about Bajaj not sending some docs to RTO in time and blah blah. Basically, the delivery of my bike will take another 6 days!

The surprise

The surprise came on Friday. I got a message from Mumbai RTO that they have received the registration amount for my bike. Called the showroom again to share the news and to ask my oft repeated question: "WHEN IS MY BIKE COMING TO ME????". I was told RTO would not pass the bike on Saturday and I could get it only on Monday.

Time for another surprise: RTO did work on Saturday and I got my registration number by SMS. I called the showroom billionth time and this time got the reply I was longing to hear for a long time: "Please come Sir, your bike is ready".

The escape

Since I was in office at it was still 2 pm, I mysteriously developed a severe headache. So bad, that I had to skip the evening presentation. Manager told me to take a medicine immediately. I nodded. My medicine was waiting for me at Sai Service, Western Express Highway. Hijacked wifey from her place of work and rushed to the showroom. Spent another half an hour before finally getting the bike.

The climax

The wait is over and I am finally united with my bike. Can't wait for the run-in period to end and unleash the devil inside. Hope to log in more and more kilometers and contribute more and more travellogs.... Till then, ride save and ride sane!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

Hey guys usually cars/bikes with Fuel Injection have a light in the dash which blinks. I think it's present in the ZMR and the CBR (correct me if I'm wrong please). I saw no FI light in the RS 200 Dash.

Why is there no light? How else are we supposed to know if the fuel pump is working or not?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

When you turn the ignition on, there is a hissing sound of fuel pump starting. I think that's how you can make out if engine is working.

Others, please correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience

There is a malfunction indicator. The manual says it blinks if there are any issues with FI. The light turns on when you turn on the bike. It goes off when the engine starts
